Autumn music

Crickets, crickets, a cacophonous orchestration of crickets. Tuning the autumn night into impromptu harmony. One plays beyond his purpose, seeking perfect harmony. He strives and strives. Somewhere a star rejoins the sky.

Autumnal Equinox

47F this morning. Reached 99 yesterday, supposed to go over 100 today, bummer. And of course no water in the ditch. Equinox today! Fall tomorrow. Smoke from the Ashland fire is turning the rising sun into a rosy glow caressing Mt. Fielder. Hope Tuesday treats you well.

Summer's end

Brrr... 45F here this morning. Cold as a February morning but they say it'll be in the upper 90s later so gotta really jam the work this morning. Last day of summer! Cherish those rays & have a great day.

Peaceful Sunday happiness

A peaceful, cool Sunday morning. Sparky curled up next to me, a blue-jay screeching & scriching in the distance. The sky a tapestry of thin cloud & pale blue, Mt. Fielder a solid mass of tree & rock beyond the big oak in the front yard.

Dad's reading the "Messenger of Truth" & mom is napping.

A relaxing & inspiring day to you.

Summer wonder Sunday

Had such a wonderful nap! with Sparky asleep, his head on my leg. We felt so safe. Then I went out and perched on the ladder to pick a case of pears & plums. Todd's gonna BBQ some London broil, I've got squash ready to steam & mom made peach pies w/ ice cream to top it off. Happy Sunday.

21 days to Fall

beat & tired. Busy day at the stand. Only takes a few unpleasant customers to make for a real tough day. Anger is exhausting. Glad to be home & filling my belly with some of Todd's mighty fine BBQ chicken. Actually had a great day at the stand, sold lots.

Hope you're relaxing & having fun.
